Our story
We are known to our patrons as KP or K-Pub, an English pub in the heart of Calgary’s Kensington neighbourhood. Lynn and her brother Bill purchased the pub in 1993, and since then, dozens of family members have worked here, with some serving guests for decades. Our family atmosphere is central to the experience: regulars and new customers alike are welcomed like family, and our staff gets to know the people who come through our doors.We serve traditional English comfort food alongside cocktails, wine, spirits, and domestic and international beers on tap. Our pub occupies a historic setting and functions as a neighbourhood meeting place built around familiar food, attentive service, and long-standing community connections.

Good service and atmosphere. Drinks were reasonably priced.I enjoyed Kensington Pubs fish and chips, though I was not a fan of their tartar sauce.Most importantly, they were able to answer all my questions related to my dietary restrictions (dairy free).I look forward to my next visit!
Stopped into here for lunch and I wasn't disappointed! They have a delicious English style bitter beer as an amber color, which I'm not generally a fan of, but this had no sweetness to it. It was a very nice tasting beer. My favorite go-to for lunch is at a pub is a beef dip sandwich and theirs was incredible. They had an optional add-on of cheese and bacon which I've never had and I'm happy I got. The au jus and the horseradish sauce we're perfect for dipping the sandwich in. I'd like to come back and try a few more things other menu.
Wanted some fish and chips and this place came up so I thought I’d try it out. I was pretty disappointed in the service and food. It’s a cute little mom and pop place but I wouldn’t go back. No hi how are you, just “for how many?” When I said that I had a pick up order she just moved on to the next people standing in the door way. I just stood there unsure for a while until she had my food in her hands while discussing her days off with her mom in the kitchen entry. I lost patience after a few minutes and asked if it was my food. They struggled to find condiments after they offered. Got home to find a dry, rather meatless piece of fish with very crunchy batter on soggy under crooked fries.
Cozy atmosphere and good food. Highlight of our meal- the sweet potato fries. We enjoyed the scotch eggs but it's a but pricey for a piece. The rest of the food and drinks are good.
I went with some friends on a Friday afternoon to have the fish and chips special with a beer and had an amazing time. The fish was done perfectly as it was cooked perfect and the batter was the right amount and crispy to eat. The fries were nicely done as well and the whole plate had gotten eaten and was a good portion for one person. They have a great selection of beer and cocktails. The service was amazing as the staff were attentive, fast, and friendly. The price point perfect. Patio was clean as well as the restrooms spotless. Can’t wait to come back for a happy hour afternoon and try more on the menu.

The atmosphere is the best I've experienced at any pub or restaurant. So cozy. Felt like a bubble where you're transported to peace and tranquility. The food was great. Very reasonably priced. Shepard's pie was massive.
I went a few days ago with my friends, one of which was on vacation from Europe. he recommended we go here as he wanted a taste of home and he loved every second of it and so did the rest of us! The atmosphere is absolutely amazing and the staff are so kind.
